I'm getting messages from my French mates with screenshots of the Champions League table.

We are properly back.

Special mention to Carlos, he’s been superb since the Ipswich game.

Maybe he is a player who playa betrer against betrer oppositioj
 Switched on all the time. Always thought Mark Hughes like that.

Only the third side ever to win their opening three without conceding a goal.

Pleased for him, he was getting a lot of stick.

We should fire Emery, whilst Big Sam is available. It's all going too well. It's giving me the fear.

Carlos today doesn't get turned like the Ipswich game

They were all great, but I was really impressed with Maatsen.

Big fan of Duran shouting 'estoy aqui' (I'm here!) when celebrating the goal.

It does seem that way - though he was good against a poor Man Utd side (and one of the few that were)

Gutted not to be able to go, but eat ned that on TV and we were great in every facet of our game.

Bailey worked, and worked, he was unlucky a few times I thought but it's coming, he will arrive back to I his old self soon and then wow.

Proud, just so f*cking proud of our club. Worth waiting 40 years for. Have grown a foot in the last two years.

Every player was magnificent. Things didn't quite click for Bailey but we all know it will soon. He was so brilliant last year, didn't go unnoticed and now he is drawing defenders like a magnet. This is creating a lot of space elsewhere. Bailey's presence alone is an asset.

Whoever is responsible for recruiting the likes of Rogers, Maatsen, Duran and others deserves a pay rise.

Many thanks Unai and company.

So proud.

Brilliant performance. Youri so composed in midfield and he knits everything together, Maatsen gives us a great but different option at left back, Rogers majestic, particularly first half, he’s very skilful but sometimes he just bulldozes his way through challenges.

I thought Bailey showed a bit more promise tonight, it didn’t quite go for him but he was better, imo, than many seem to think.
